About me

Let me start by saying welcome and thank you for stopping by!  My name is Matt, and I'm a NASM certified personal trainer.  My path to personal training started late.  While in college, I gained the "freshman fifteen" and did not take my health seriously.  During my junior year, I was diagnosed with cancer (lymphoma and leukemia).  After a month in the hospital and continued outpatient chemotherapy, I became depressed.  I had no energy, ate emotionally, and would lay around watching television feeling sorry for myself.  It wasn't until my mid 30s when something clicked.  I don't know what exactly made me change but I had enough.  I wasn't happy with how I looked or felt.  My clothes didn't fit, I was always uncomfortable, and I was down on myself to the point I didn't want to leave the house.  I decided to get a gym membership.  Going to the gym was toughest part, but I always felt better once I arrived.  I started to enjoy running and completed half marathons.  The passion and desire to exercise and eat healthy waivered at times, but I never wanted to go back to that place of self sabotage.  Even today, I'm still working to be and do better.  The path to a healthy lifestyle can be bumpy but I've learned a lot along the way.  I would love to join you on your fitness journey and help you achieve your goals.  It's not easy walking the path alone.  If you're interested in learning more, please reach out and let's discuss how I can help you!
